There is a crazy woman living in the west of Longjia Village, no one knows her name, everyone calls her crazy woman.

In fact, crazy women are very friendly to others, but they always like to keep their heads down and mumble to themselves, or shout at the night sky in the dead of night.

After a long time, the neighbors cursed her loudly, and the madwoman did not get angry, but bowed to them apologetically, and when everyone was gone, she continued to shout.

Others can't do anything about her, so they say bad things about her behind her back, saying that she is not only crazy, but also sloppy, and likes to eat dead rats alive.

There is a family not far from the crazy woman's house, and there is a boy named Long Dan'er in this family, who is seven years old this year.

Long Dan'er is very naughty and plays around on the streets all day long, but he is especially afraid of crazy women.

When Long Dan'er's mother couldn't help him, she said, "If you want to be naughty again, I will give you to the crazy woman and let the crazy woman be your mother." ”

As long as he heard this, no matter how fierce the trouble was, Long Dan'er immediately followed behind his mother honestly, and he didn't dare to say a word.

One day, Long Dan'er came home from outside the village very late.

At this time, the house was in charge of the lamp, and under the reflection of the light, Long Dan'er's father found that the child's face was miserable and green, which made people scared when they saw it.

Daddy asked, "Egg, what's wrong with you?"

Long Dan'er snorted coldly, and said angrily, "Who is Dan'er, I am your ancestor!" After speaking, he reached out and grabbed his father.

Long Dan'er's father was so frightened that he pulled up his daughter-in-law and turned around and ran, and Long Dan'er chased after him.

When he was about to catch up, the dragon egg suddenly screamed, and lay on the ground and did not move. His father looked up and saw that the crazy woman was staring coldly at the dragon egg.

Long Dan'er's father regarded the crazy woman as a relative at the moment, and took her hand and said, "Crazy...... No, you see how the eggs came to be like this?"

The madwoman replied gently, "This is not a dragon egg, he is a plague god who has come here to spread the plague." ”

Daddy was frightened, "How do you know?"

The madwoman did not answer, but said, "If you trust me, leave the dragon eggs at my house tonight, and I will send this plague god away and bring your eggs back." ”

How dare the father and mother of the dragon egg disobey, when they heard that the child was still saved, they happily carried the unconscious dragon egg to the crazy woman's house.

This was the first time they had come to the madwoman's house, and it turned out that her house was not at all the same as the legend, and the madwoman's house was very neat and clean.

On the third watch, the leaves rustling outside the madwoman's house sounded, and then the door was blown open by a gust of wind, and a black shadow came to the madwoman lightly.

The crazy woman said, "Mother, you do good deeds." This child is entangled by the plague god, if you don't take the plague god, the whole village will die, only you people in the underworld can restrain him, help us. ”

A hoarse voice said slowly: "Child, everyone in the village looks down on you, why do you still help them?"

The crazy woman shook her head: "The villagers treat me badly because I am really crazy and don't blame them." Who wants to live with a madman?"

The hoarse voice said, "Poor boy, you would rather be like this in order to spend more time with me." Okay, I'll listen to you. ”

Before the words fell, she stretched out her hand to scratch the dragon egg for a while, and pulled hard, the dragon egg screamed and opened her eyes.

Another voice shouted angrily: "We are all things from the underworld, why are you helping them?"

The hoarse voice didn't say anything, and disappeared with a "whoosh" as he carried him.

The next day, Long Dan'er fully recovered and returned home in a hurry.

His father and mother were very happy, and bought a lot of gifts and went to the crazy woman's house to thank him.

Speaking of the black shadow, the crazy woman told the truth with tears in her eyes: that was the mother of the crazy woman, because she was worried about her daughter and was reluctant to reincarnate, she went to see her every night, and the crazy woman would rather become a madman in the eyes of people in order to see her mother, but also be with her mother.

The reason why I yelled at night was to show my mother the way.

When the villagers learned the truth, they all respected the crazy woman.

There is a famous student named Longshi in the north of the village, and because of his ordinary qualifications, he has not been able to get the fame of joining the company after studying for many years.

Liang Shi has a tenacity, and he never goes out from then on, he just reads hard at home every day, but he is restless, and the jerky and incomprehensible big arguments in the bone armor make him annoyed, and he can't remember it anyway.

Fortunately, the daughter-in-law was very virtuous, and hurriedly comforted him when she saw this.

Long Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know that you are for my good, but if you continue like this, I will do nothing in my life, and the first one to be sorry is you." ”

The daughter-in-law smiled honestly: "What am I sorry for, I am already very content to live a down-to-earth life with you." It's good to be able to study and get a job, but if you are not destined to do so, even if you use your life to force it, what's the use?"

Long Shi was stunned for a moment, feeling that what his daughter-in-law said was very reasonable, he thought about it and put down the bone armor, and said: "It makes sense, maybe I am destined to have no fame, and I am forcing it at the moment." ”

He bowed to his daughter-in-law three times: "What the good wife said is that I should go out for a walk and see what I can do besides studying." In this life, I can't hang myself from this tree. ”

So he went out and wandered around the bazaar.

Until it was past noon, he did not realize what he could do, and when he was discouraged, an old man in ragged clothes lay in front of him.

The old man shook the broken basin in his hand: "I haven't eaten for two days, okay, let's give me something to eat." ”

Although Longshi's qualifications are mediocre, he has a kind heart, he touched his body, he didn't have a penny, he felt very sorry for this good person, and hurriedly said, "Old man, I don't have any money on me, and I don't have anything to eat, it's better to be like this, you come home with me, and I invite you to a beautiful meal." ”

In this way, Longshi took the old beggar home, and although his daughter-in-law did not like him to do this, the man had already brought him back, so he didn't say anything, and made a hearty lunch according to his wishes.

His family has no surplus food, and it is said that it is abundant, but in fact, it is just a few more nests.

The old man took a look in Longshi's so-called study and said, "It turns out that you are a reader. After reading so many books, can you have a reputation for joining the company?"

This sentence was talking about the sore spot of Longshi, and his face was flushed, but he couldn't answer a word.

The old man didn't ask any more questions, buried his head in eating four nests, and then said with a smile: "Reading is like walking, and reading too much is difficult to digest." It's like eating, what's the use of just eating and not digesting?"

Long Shi was stunned, he didn't expect the old beggar in front of him to say such a reasonable thing.

Just in doubt, the old man laughed, and disappeared out of thin air, and there was a knife on the table that engraved tortoiseshell characters.

The daughter-in-law said happily: "Xianggong, I guess your kindness touched the heavens, this is the immortal enlightening you." ”

Before the words fell, the carving knife hung in the air, and a few big characters were engraved out of thin air: You respect me, I wish you fame.

Longshi was not stupid, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

From then on, according to what the old man said, Longshi went out to travel a lot, and this carving knife was always with him.

Every time he meditated, the knife often carved words into the oracle bone on its own, and each article impressed Dragonstone.

In the past few years, he took this carving knife all the way to the royal city to take the entrance examination, and was finally entrusted by the king with an important task and became an official of the royal city.

When he took office, the carving knife helped him solve the case and won praise from the people.
